Simon Cowell: The Next Act drops on Netflix on December 10 and, after watching the trailer, it looks as if viewers can expect a series of blazing rows as The X Factor mogul looks for his next big boy band.

The first clip from the series dropped today (November 24) and sees Simon fly 16 hopefuls out to Miami, where him and his team put them through their paces before turning them into a boy band.

Cameras will follow the boys from the audition stages, right through to the release of their first single.

However, it appears the experience is far from smooth sailing for the Britain’s Got Talent boss…

Simon Cowell: The Next Act trailer drops

Streaming service Netflix dropped the explosive trailer at lunchtime. And it features a succession of hot-tempered moments from the six-part series, which drops on December 10.

As well as Simon, the show also features his partner Lauren Silverman. In one clip, things appear strained between the pair as she tells him: “I never complain, I’m there for you because that’s what you do when you love somebody.”

She can then be seen walking out of shot, before asking a member of production: “Can I be unmiked, please.”

‘I am tense’

In another tense clip, Simon can be seen walking away from filming. In the trailer, he declares: “Well this is a disaster.”

Lauren also shares: “Work for Simon isn’t just work, it’s his life.” She then tells him: “You’re very tense.” “I am tense,” he admits.

‘I don’t know why Dumb and Dumber are speaking’

The third row takes place between the boys vying for a place in the band.

They’re seen out in Miami, as one tells the others: “I don’t know why Dumb and Dumber are speaking.”

One of the lads he was talking about looks irate, as he fires back: “You said Dumb and Dumber? Don’t ever call us Dumb and Dumber again. You understand?”

Another boy also comments: “We’re all such different people and balancing our personalities isn’t easy.”

Simon’s concerns

The BGT boss also reveals he’s well aware that his hopes of finding the next One Direction might not come to fruition.

“If this goes wrong, it will be ‘Simon Cowell has lost it’,” he can be heard saying, before describing the process as “messy, raw and going to be chaos”.

Roll on December 10, we say!
